The '''Tektronix 7B50''' is a timebase plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]], particularly the 7500 series, [[introduced in 1969]].
It is specified for triggering up to 100 MHz. Triggering uses [[tunnel diodes]].  
The sweep is fully discrete, no ICs.  It was replaced by the [[7B50A]] in 1976.


The task of designing the 7B50 was inherited and completed by [[Murlan Kaufman]].

{{Spec | Trigger input | 1 MΩ // 20 pF max. 500 V DC+peak AC }}
{{Spec | Jitter | less than 1 ns at 75 MHz }}

==X-Y operation==
The 7B50 has a dedicated switch to put it in "amplifier mode" for X-Y operation. 
In this mode, the Trigger Source switch controls the signal source – internal from a vertical plug-in via the trigger path, or external — and the Trigger Coupling switch controls AC vs. DC coupling.
In amplifier mode, gain can be varied using an uncalibrated potentiometer.
